inflammation adjacent to subgingival calculus
When you are using your endoscope, do you ALWAYS see
inflammation adjacent to subgingival calculus? The preliminary study~
article from J Perio that we discussed~ showed more inflammation in
the tissue when there was residual calculus~ do you see this every
time or just some of the time? I have my own theory about why there's
more inflammation adjacent to subg calculus but it might just be
hogwash. - Lynne
Lynne, Yes, there is always inflammation adj. To sub-g calculus.
It's a whole world down there waiting to be explored. ;) - Judy
Yes, Can you see the biofilm covering the calculus, too? - Lynne
Biofilm is often impossible to see sans staining and magnification.
Even if not covering all the calculus, it's there... inside and out.
- Mike Rethman
Yes I can see biofilm on the surface and can manipulate it easily,
its the biofilm inside the calculus that is more organized I feel.
Started filming a commercial today-tomorrow we are filming the
procedure, need to get my head and heart into this.- Judy
